Yemen’s Army Attack Israeli Affiliated Turkish Vessel!

Anadolu S did not respond to the warnings from the naval command of the Yemeni army upon entering the operational area of the Yemeni Armed Forces and was targeted due to violating Yemen’s decision on prohibiting entry into the ports of the Israeli-occupied territories by the ship owning company.

The Anadolu S is a bulk carrier owned by the Turkish company INCE DENIZCILIK VE TICARET in Istanbul, operating under the Panamanian flag since 2014. The ship was sailing from a port in Egypt to the coast of Pakistan.

Turkish government officials repeatedly claim that they support the Palestinian people and have severed relations with the Israeli regime. However, in practice, it is obvious that these claims are baseless, and Turkiye is serving the Israeli regime by opening its airspace to the regime’s planes and Turkish ships are providing the Tel Aviv with sailing services.

The Yemeni army’s operation against the Turkish ship Anadolu S is the 166th official attack by the Yemeni armed forces on illegal ships (Israeli, American, British, and their affiliated ships).

The military operations of the Yemeni Armed Forces to support the Palestinian people and resistance in their battle against the Israeli regime kicked off on October 18, 2023, when the Yemeni fighters started targeting the occupied territories of Palestine and making insecure the maritime route from the Gulf of Aden to the Red Sea for the Israeli regime and its main supporters namely the US and the UK.

This campaign peaked with the seizure of the Israeli ship Galaxy Leader and ongoing missile, Unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV), and suicide drone attacks on over 160 vessels linked to the Tel Aviv regime, leading to a halt in shipping by Israeli companies from the Red Sea route.
